With the security set to server I get the error "Failed to join domain: 
Invalid domain role". If security is set to ADS it asks for a password and I 
get "Using short domain name..." and " could not connect to server 
DC.mydomain" and " The user name or password was not correct".

Just checked the Windows Default Domain Policy to make sure. The LAN Manager 
Authentication level is set to "Send NTLMv2 response only/Refuse LM & NTLM". 
This is another enforced policy from the University IT-department. I don't 
know however if this is a problem for BPC and the authentication. Maybe 
somebody else knows.
